brushless hyper 7 conversion
 

hi,
i thought i might post a build of my hyper 7 conversion. this car is second hand so i didnt have to buy the rc monster motor mount. so far i have bought
- trackstar 150amp esc
- 2.4ghz transmitter
- Turnigy MG959 Alloy Digital Metal Gear Servo
- ZIPPY Flightmax 4000mAh 3S1P 40C
- castle creations fan
- 15t pinion
- 70,000 wt oil for centre diff if needed
- 70wt for suspension
- 2000kv leopard motor
- flightmax 2x2s 4000mah 40c
- 16,17,18t pinion pack

im still waiting for the castle fan, leopard motor and 2x2s batteries and the pinion pack. i might be unlocking the centre diff and changing it with 70,000wt and maybe soldering up the esc this Saturday. first i need to cut the centre diff bolts underneath to fit a flat head screw driver becasue they are stripped as well as the ones on top of the centre diff. heres some pics
if anyone has any tips that would be great thanks

very nice, lve converted my hyper 8 and it goes great, top speed of 99kmh

Thanks yeah I'm hoping to get that speed on 5s-6s

Sweet build list. I just had my last MMM pop today and I placed an order fro the same ESC so let me know how it works.

should go good with 5s-6s, lm just using 3s. what motor are you running and how many tunrs?

yeah thanks im not sure what turn but its a 4pole leopard 2000kv motor
thanks Braden

Brushless motors don't really go by turn, something I just read in my subscription of RCDriver, those that place a turn on their motor is more of an estimated equivalent.

That is why you'll find all sorts of different KV's on 10.5 motors. Which is anywhere from 3000 to 4500 at least by what I have seen.

I believe the Duratrax Raze is very similar to the Hyper 7. So I may be asking you for some part comparisons in the future.

I look forward to more pictures.

hey,
ive decided to throw in some 70wt oil in the rear suspension mainly becasue they need some oil i opened 1 of the back up and it was half empty so that was my main reason! oh yeah and the bladders look great no splits nothing. Hyper-5 you where saying your hyper got up to 99km/h was that on 3s? and what gears and motor are you running
thanks Braden

ye bundyracer1 reached 99km/h on 3s, all stock gearing but just recently changed my pinion to a 14t instead of 12t, check out my video:

wow thats fast for 3s imagine if you ran it on 5s! how fast do u reckon mine will be on 5s just take a guess lol

ye, soz ldk man, lm gonna make my buggy faster cause atm its just not fast enough for me, lm gonna put a 2D tekin 2650kV motor

i have a small update!
today i got my castle creation fan in the mail and hoping to get my 2x2s lipos some time this week aswell!

Got some more pictures?

i can get a pic of the fan but thats all that came so it wont be much! ill put one up today some time

This is so similar to the Raze... Can you post a picture of the center diff mount that you replaced with the RCM mount. I would like to see if the 7 is the same as the Raze. Thanks.
